New York Yankees Spanish radio announcer Rickie Ricardo was called upon for the save Wednesday night. In this case, to help out legendary play-by-play announcer John Sterling.
Ricardo appeared on WFAN's Moose and Maggie show Thursday and recounted how he was called to pick up Sterling in Edgewater, New Jersey, after the 83-year-old's car flooded and left him stranded as he was attempting to go home from the Bronx amid Hurricane Ida after the Yankees' 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
The game was in Los Angeles, though Yankees broadcasters have been working from Yankee Stadium during road games throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
